Yes, it is.

‘This is NOT this child’s fault. He is NOT a threat’: Mental health advocate launches defense of 6’6″ thug, 17, who had to be dragged off unconscious female teaching aide who he knocked out for confiscating his Nintendo Switch

Since when is a 17-year-old actually a “child?” Especially one who is six and a half feet tall and weighing 270 pounds?

Watch the video and determine for yourself whether he’s a threat. You want him in school with YOUR kids?

Every day I become more and more convinced that homeschooling, formerly the province of religious weirdos, is the answer for parents who don;t want to be complicit in child abuse.

    We used to live in rural MO and began homeschooling when the standardized tests kicked in. Everyone gets held to the pace of the slowest so that the group does as well as possible on the test.

    One weir side effect was that kids could only check out books at their grade level unless they had advanced reading in their Individual Ed plan.

    I know tenured professors who homeschool for the same reason, you just don’t talk much about it at work or they give you a pile of crap.
